Paula O'Connor (MIAHIP) Reg ICP.
Paula holds a BA (Hons) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Dublin Business School and is accredited by the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) and is also registered with ICP Irish Council for Psychotherapy.
Her therapeutic approach is humanistic and integrative, encouraging clients to explore their physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being.
She forsters a warm and welcoming environment where clients can engage with curiosity and self-exploration.
Paula values the therapeutic relationship as a vital component of the healing process.
She has a keen interest in various psychotherapy models, including the Polyvagal Theory developed by Deb Dana, which focuses on understanding and regulating the nervous system. She believes in the power of hopefulness, recognising that early experiences shape the nervous system, but ongoing experiences can help reshape it.
She incorporates Eco-therapy and
practices Mindfulness in her work.
Paula is inspired by philospher and psychologist William James who described curiosity as "the impluse towards better cognition" a desire to explore and understand beyond what is already known.
